SHEPPARD et al.

McCamy, Minor, Vining & Phillips, Joseph T. Tuggle, Jr., for appellant.

Mitchell & Mitchell, D. W. Mitchell, Jr., for appellee.

HALL, Judge.

The evidence in this negligence action shows that the injuries of the plaintiff were due to the negligence of the defendant, or to the plaintiff's own negligence, or to both.

The trial court erred in overruling the plaintiff's motion for new trial on the ground that the court charged the jury principles of law relating to unavoidable accident. Atlantic C. L. R. Co. v.
